    It always baffles me when people say that we gotta fix everything on Earth before we go to space when countless inventions and innovations that make our modern lives even remotely possible are a direct result of space travel. Just to name a few; disease and medical research, better understanding of physics, advances in computing, GPS, weather prediction and tracking, solar panels, and the Internet. You don’t have to get excited, but to say we shouldn’t go to space is a very short sighted argument.
